Creative Commons

Page history last edited by gharris@... 9 years, 8 months ago

Update: July 2014: Changes to Canadian Copy Right and use of information in schools has adjusted the need for Creative Commons in schools.

However, the materials available and methods to cite use of Creative Commons materials as listed below are still relevant and useful.

 

 

                  

                    

       "Wanna Work Together? This video explains in practical details how creators expose, share, and remix their works using our free public licenses."

 

     Students are making original photography, art, and music, and they are borrowing original art by others to add to their own work. In both cases it is important that students understand the sharing and remixing permissions to creative work: how to protect their rights when they make their original creative work public, and as well, how to give credit to others when they download digital images, video, and music that belongs to others. These permissions or “attributions” are a vital part of information literacy. 

                                                                    

 

   "Creative Commons is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to making it easier for people to share and build upon the work of others, consistent with the rules of copyright. We provide free licenses and other legal tools to mark creative work with the freedom the creator wants it to carry, so others can share, remix, use commercially, or any combination thereof." 

 

  Licenses The following describes each of the six main licenses offered when you choose to publish your work with a Creative Commons license. They are listed starting with the most accommodating license type you can choose and ending with the most restrictive license type you can choose. Creative Commons License poster - print it out and post it in your library or classroom. 

Here is a version that may be easier to use with elementary aged students:

 Creative Commons Elementary School Version Apr.2011.doc

 

Here is a "how to" example of how to access some free image sites (e.g., Flickr and Freefoto) and a link to the CC Content Directory:    Free images _ CC Content Directory

 

How to Cite a Creative Commons work:

 

http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Marking/Users

 

For elementary student users, you may want to modify and begin with requiring a pasted link and creator name. 

 

Review Conditions and Select License pdf

 

     The Creative Commons site is loaded with Videos and Comics that teachers can utilize to to explain the ideas behind licensing and sharing. Mayer and Bettle is a short promotional animation that explains what Creative Commons is and how it works.  (Created for Creative Commons Australia and the Queensland University of Technology (QUT). Mayer and Bettle 2 is the sequel to the original Mayer and Bettle video.

Thanks Leslie,

I've just begun exploring Creative Commons and am starting to use it with my students to help them find legal content for their projects. The video links will help vary my presentation.
